Goodbye soon to Otuoke Mr Jona. (Alias Badluck-Rv Fr Mbaka)

Hope you can manage Damn Patience and fishing in Otuoke

It is apparently clear that most contributors here are either not well informed on international politics or they are inadvertently being guided by their religious sentiments towards Israel.

Though, a good analysis of some comments also show some signs of under-aged members making shallow attempt to respond to the thread.

May I ask:

Who is benefiting from the present precarious state in which Palestine is?

Why are the palestinians treated like sub-humans?

Can there ever be peace wherever injustice reign?

Is given Palestinians a rightful state of their own too much to attain peace in the most turbulent region of the world?

I watched the UN proceedings yesterday, and I can't but wonder how Israel and her Allies can win peace with force which has failed since 1948

The world's opinions is fast changing towards palestine. No man can survive and be happy to be in bondage.

All those who believe in equity, fairplay and Justice will surely not be happy with the outcome because it implies more violence and bloodshed for that region in the years to come.

I am not interested in which country vote for or against but my problem is with some segment of the jewish nation (not all) and their collaborators in US who think using Nazi or Adolf hitler formulae to exterminate the palestinians will guarantee them peace.

Our own actions and inactions in our home, community, state, country, continent and in the world at large determines what becomes of the world we leave. Inactions can and in most times is more dangerous and disastrous than actions, each depends on its circumstance.

For me, I want a peacefil world and I urge people to use more of their head than hearts because heart has been found to be most irrational and unreasonable in decision making, the head is better gifted to judge and reason better.

kudoxs: I will be there insha Allah, can I come with a non-NLder friend?

I will be at the iftaar season 6 too Insha Allah bi kudratullah.

As I look forward to meeting my muslim brothers and sisters.

May Almighty Allah accept all our efforts in this holy month and beyond as an act of Ibadah and crown it all for us with Al Jannah Firdauz. (Amin)
